Sauvegarder Investment Management, a leader in intellectual property-based financing, investment, and monetization, today announced the acquisition of a video patent portfolio developed by Gurulogic Microsystems Oy, a Finnish technology company with a long track record of patent innovation spanning video conferencing, surveillance solutions, advanced video and image coding, and data encryption.
The newly acquired patent portfolio encompasses 21 patent assets in core technologies critical to the modern video landscape, including video calls and real-time streaming. These assets advance SIM IP’s mission to capitalize on high-value, enforceable IP assets with far-reaching applications across a variety of industries such as telecommunications, cybersecurity, cloud computing, and digital media. With this acquisition, SIM IP continues to build a robust, diversified portfolio that offers scalable and flexible licensing opportunities in critical technologies and key global markets.
“We are pleased to announce the first acquisition of a Gurulogic patent portfolio, marking SIM IP’s second major acquisition from a Finnish technology leader in just the past month. This latest transaction underscores Finland’s remarkable track record of innovation and our ongoing commitment to identifying and investing in high-value intellectual property from global technology hubs,” said Jennifer Burdman, Managing Director at SIM IP. “By integrating Gurulogic’s pioneering technologies into our portfolio, we are further strengthening SIM IP’s position as a leader in IP monetization while creating new opportunities for collaborative licensing and value creation across the industry.”
Erich Spangenberg, CEO of SIM IP, added, “Our Strategic Licensing Team will pursue voluntary, competitively priced licensing opportunities for companies seeking to utilize Gurulogic’s technologies. If these voluntary initiatives prove unsuccessful, our Tactical Licensing Team is well positioned to implement targeted licensing initiatives utilizing alternative means to fully realize the commercial value of these high-quality intellectual property assets.”
The leadership of Gurulogic has trust in SIM IP’s capabilities and global positioning being essential to the successful monetization of Gurulogic’s legacy video IP portfolio. Anne-Mari Lummevuo, Patent Director of Gurulogic Microsystems Oy, commented, “We have been seeking alternative strategies to commercialize our legacy patent portfolio for several years and are thrilled about this transaction with SIM IP. SIM IP’s re-entry into the intellectual property monetization business comes at an opportune time, backed by their expertise, market reach, and resources necessary to maximize the value of acquired patents. This partnership allows Gurulogic to remain focused on developing and protecting our core business involving unique security technologies of quantum age.”
This acquisition marks a significant milestone in SIM IP’s ongoing efforts to enhance its intellectual property portfolio, providing exciting new opportunities for licensing and commercialization in the rapidly evolving video technology space.
